Totally confused about Doubles and Trebles!
-
This is not a matched betting query but rather a straight forward gambling one.
I had a very small amout of money in my Paddy Power account and decided to place a tiny bet on a two event accumulator.
I chose two horse races taking place this afternoon and bet £ 1.25 each way on both horses.
Just before I confirmed the bet the estimated return if I win was displayed inside the Multiples box and I am sure it was around £ 30+
I logged in a couple of hours ago and see that the 1st horse Won and the second horse Placed 2nd but the return was only £ 4.32.
I am a total newbie when it comes to doing this but I am struggling to understand why I expected to win a lot more based on Paddy Power’s “potential returns” figure of £ 30+.
Please can someone explain where I have gone wrong?
